Description

First published in 1997 and released in this hardcover format by Phaidon in 2001, “Terra” is an essential part of Salgado’s global documentation of human displacement. The book contains 109 duotone plates that transition from intimate portraits of children to sweeping scenes of mass rallies. Salgado, trained as an economist, uses his unique perspective to bridge the gap between hard economic data and the lived experience of suffering. The text, translated by Clifford Landers, complements the visual narrative to create a disturbing yet beautiful testament to human courage in the face of relentless poverty.
